These water heaters often have a "non-simultaneous" design, which means only one element is on at any given time. This thermostat has a temperature-sensitive bi-metal disc to deliver snap action to the contacts.

The overtemp button on my upper T-Stat tripped and would not reset. I bought both the upper element Thermostat and the lower element Thermostat and it was 10 minute job to replace them as a pair. That got my 40 gallon water heater back running. That exposed the real issue was a bad lower element because I could hear the "popping" noise when it tried to heat the water. I went back and bought the two elements and changed them. I drained the tank first and recommend that because they were difficult to hand start the large diameter threads. So for less than $60 I avoided at $700 new tank.

It solved the problem of the lower chamber not heating up on a brand new Rheem water heater. Had to call Rheem customer service and saved $200 on the plumber and changed it my self, but Im handy. It does what it’s supposed to, so I’m happy.
